DETAILS
Starting with the Redmi Note 13 4G refreshed design. At the rear, its triple camera module gets simpler with the lenses now placed directly above its glass-like panel. The glass-like finish of its plastic rear panel, though, is reflective and is fingerprint-magnet. Our unit is in the Midnight Black colorway so it’s easier to spot the smudges as the light hits it.
Flipping at the front is the crisp 6.67-inch AMOLED display that runs up to 120Hz refresh rate. Using it outdoors won’t be a problem as it can reach up to 1800 nits peak brightness. There’s also a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on top for added layer of protection. Not to mention, the phone also comes with a pre-installed screen protector. Up top is a hole-punch notch, and the display supports in-screen fingerprint sensor. In my experience, it unlocks the phone fast enough with a split-second delay.
Every shot is bound to be iconic, thanks to its triple rear camera system boasting a 108-megapixel main sensor.
That’s complemented with an 8-megapixel ultrawide and 2-megapixel macro.
Software-wise, I was expecting it to run Xiaomi’s latest HyperOS. To my surprise, it’s still running MIUI 14 instead, which is based on Android 13. The Redmi Note 13 is capped to 4G connectivity. It supports Bluetooth 5.1, dual frequency Wi-Fi, and NFC for convenient tap-to-pay options. It packs a 5,000mAh battery that lasted a good 13 hours and 11 minutes in our standard video loop test.
